Ski routes
Sportgastein is a snowy paradise perched at 2700 meters above sea level. Long known as a freeride area, three “golden” routes are now also about to warm the hearts of all future freeriders: the Golden Ride Route at a length of 666 m, the Golden Rush Route with a length of 2,000 m, and the Golden Powder Route at a total distance of 5,000 m. All of these routes are in the intermediate difficulty range, their different lengths promising freeriding enjoyment for all ability levels, both for skiers and snowboarders.
